We had been away for a few days, so I thought that it must have been the passing out parade on Thursday and hence, BRNC's winter ball on Friday which culminated in a great firework display. But actually it was the Guy Fawkes Night display that had been cancelled.
It's normally good to get straight line explosions, but tonight's show was full of whizz bangs that went off in all directions.

I had concentrated on the lower level display, but all fireworks end in a big high bang. Here it is, falling back to earth.

This sea mist, caused by warm air over cold water looked amazing with the low sun out to sea.
The boat in the centre is, I am pretty sure, the wonderfully named 'Rodfather II'. A great sequel.

Not quite as tall as Eos, whose mast disected the Golf House. But you get the drift. Them legs are big.

The beautifully named floating beast JU36201, or as it has become known in Dartmouth, 'that big crane up at Sandquay' has finally finished its work and so was towed back to Plymouth by the tug Mercia. And with a little sea mist between the castles, it even looked an almost pretty sight.

Reflecting on the stillest of still nights at Darthaven. One of those pictures which you think you can turn upside down and it will look the same. Still though the river is, upside down doesn't work.

That's a weight off their minds. Dart Harbour's crew of Hercules clean up a mooring buoy and check on the big lump of concrete which keeps it in place.
